Dear fellow DH-ers, 

Digital Humanities Network Potsdam invites you to another 'Code & Culture' online lecture on June 4. This time, we'll have Prof. Lev Manovich (CUNY), a prominent theorist of digital culture and the author of the term 'Cultural Analytics'.

Title: Thinking about Culture (not) as Data

Abstract:

Why do we often approach cultural data using ideas developed in the 18th and 19th century, before digital computers and big data? Can we think about cultural objects and histories without using categories? What can AI see in cultural artefacts, and what it remains blind to?

Lev Manovich will discuss what he sees as some of the biggest challenges in looking at culture with computers, and suggest some ways to address those challenges.

🗓️ The talk will take place online on June 4 at 10:00 AM CEST. Please register here to get the Zoom link: https://www.uni-potsdam.de/de/digital-humanities/aktivitaeten/code-and-culture-lecture-series/thinking-about-culture-not-as-data-a-code-culture-talk-by-lev-manovich
